Lan Yu was a little embarrassed. After Elder Shi came back that day, he only told them that the Zixiao Sect had gone too far and refused to return the Eight Divine Swords of the Jishang Sect.
Later, they learned that the leader of the Zixiao Sect that day was Sun Zhong. They understood why Elder Shi said that. They asked other disciples about the situation that day and found out the whole story.
There are confused people, and naturally there are also non-confused people, and Lan Yu is one of them.
As a descendant of Elder Yashin, when the secret storage of the Supreme Sect's skills was robbed, he was told that the Yashin Sword was among the stolen skills.
Lan Yu knew that the Zixiao Sect had martial arts that were not inferior to the Eight Divine Swords, and their martial arts storage pavilion had more books than even the Jishang Sect. There was absolutely no need to do such an unnecessary thing, and there was no need to wait a hundred years for the secret to be exposed.
Therefore, there is only one possibility for Gao Han to obtain the Eight Sacred Swords.
It was just as he said, it could only have been picked up, because his ancestors would not have passed on the Ji Shang Sect's skills to the Zi Xiao Sect's people.
If the ancestor had taught him the skills before he joined Zixiao Sect, he should have mentioned Jishang Sect, and the other party would not have joined Zixiao Sect. Another reason is his age. Even if we go back to when he was just born, the ancestor had already passed away.
"Master Bai, let's not beat around the bush. I, Lan, have come here with sincerity this time." Lan Yu did not beat around the bush.
Sect Master Bai chuckled and said, "You simply believe that the Eight Divine Swords that Gao Han learned are complete. Otherwise, why would Ji Shang Sect go to such great lengths to find a copy of such a secret technique, and why would they go to such great lengths to find a copy?"
Even though his thoughts were exposed, Lan Yu remained calm. He had prepared himself mentally before coming here.
"Please help me, Sect Master Bai." Lan Yu bowed.
"If you don't have it, how can I help you to practice the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords?" Sect Leader Bai said sarcastically.
Lan Yu's face darkened. They had expected Zixiao Sect to deny it. "Sect Master Bai, to be honest, my ancestor had already practiced the eighth blade of the Eight Divine Swords before he left Jishang Sect."
"So what?" Sect Leader Bai said with a smile.
Lan Yu continued, "It was several decades after my ancestor left Jishang Sect, and a hundred years before the news of his death spread."
"You mean to say that during this period of time, Elder Yashin has deduced the eighth sword and made the technique complete, right?" Sect Leader Bai still had a smile on his face.
"It's possible." Lan Yu replied.
Sect Master Bai suddenly stood up and snorted, "It's just not impossible? Why don't you produce evidence to prove that before Elder Eight Gods died, the Eight Gods Sword had indeed been fully deduced. If anything can be said to be possible, can this Sect Master say that all the skills of your Ji Shang Sect were stolen from Zi Xiao Sect and ask you to return them immediately?"
Lan Yu was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't hold his face.
"Master Bai, these two are not of the same nature. The Eight Divine Swords are indeed owned by my Supreme Sect."
"Come and go, I only know this one sentence. This sect master also has only one sentence. Although the skill was picked up by Gao Han, he has clearly told this sect master that the Eight Divine Swords he picked up do not have the eighth sword."
Seeing Sect Master Bai showing an impatient expression, Lan Yu said anxiously, "Sect Master Bai, what do you want us to do in exchange for returning the eighth sword to Ji Shang Sect? Ji Shang Sect is willing to exchange it for an equal value."
Sect Leader Bai saw that they even mentioned an equal exchange, but he didn't feel sorry at all, "I also said that without the eighth sword, even if you are willing to exchange, we can't take it out."
The Jishang Sect has been the runner-up for thousands of years and has been dreaming of surpassing the Zixiao Sect for so many years. If the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords were really handed over to them, there would be a huge uproar.
As for whether Gao Han's Eight Divine Swords actually had an eighth sword, he didn't know, and there was no need to know, because the result would be the same.
"Master Bai, do you want to take the sword skills of the Supreme Sect for yourself?" The arrogant disciples around Lan Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily.
"Shuhui!" Lan Yu's face changed.
Guo Shuhui was already extremely unhappy. He ignored Lan Yu's warning and continued, "Elder Lan, they clearly don't want to hand over the eighth knife. No matter how much we say or how humble we are, they won't agree!"
"Yes, because they are afraid that Ji Shang Sect will obtain the complete Eight Divine Swords and become stronger than Zi Xiao Sect, so they will never return the complete Eight Divine Swords to us no matter what." Another disciple, Xu Mengwei, also agreed, gritting his teeth.
"I've always said that the people of Jishang Sect are the best at telling lies with their eyes open. They say that things picked up by others are stolen. It's obvious that the sword technique itself is not complete, but they still insist on saying it's complete. I've never seen such a drastic move. It's really shameless!"
Bai Runyue walked in from outside with big strides, and his voice had already reached everyone's ears.
As soon as the eldest senior brother came back, he went into seclusion again. She was bored and heard that someone from the Supreme Sect came to visit, so she came to take a look. She didn't expect to hear such shameless words.
"Who are you calling shameless?" Guo Shuhui said angrily.
"Apart from you who responded, is there anyone else here?" Bai Runyue looked around, "Oh, and you, my junior brother, are shameless in pairs."
"You!" Guo Shuhui took a step forward angrily.
Bai Runyue was not only not afraid, but also took the initiative to approach, smiling, "In the territory of Zixiao Sect, if you have the guts, try to use your hands. If you can walk out of Zixiao Sect standing, I will take your surname."
Guo Shuhui was extremely furious. He was a disciple of the leader of the Jishang Sect and had never suffered such a humiliation before. But what Bai Runyue said was right, he really didn't dare to do it.
"I didn't think you would dare, you useless coward." Bai Runyue continued to taunt.
Guo Shuhui's face turned green.
"Why are you here?" Sect Master Bai looked at his daughter and frowned.
"Senior Brother went into seclusion and wouldn't let me go with him. I was bored, so I came out for a walk and met two weirdos." Bai Runyue smiled and shot an arrow through the air, hitting Guo Shuhui and Xu Mengwei's heart.
The two were so angry that they were shaking all over. Just when they were about to hold back, Lan Yu stopped them and sent them a message.
"If you take action now, it will be even more impossible for us to get back the complete Eight God Swords."
"Elder Lan, you still have hope that they can give it to us. I don't think Zixiao Sect intends to return it to us." Guo Shuhui said angrily.
"That's right. Instead of staying here and being humiliated by him, it's better to leave now." Xu Mengwei also said.
"What happens after you leave?" Lan Yu asked indifferently.
"We'll have to find another way to get the complete Eight Sacred Swords," said Guo Shuhui.
"This is our last resort. Our biggest enemy is the demon. It's not the time for Ji Shang Sect and Zi Xiao Sect to fall out yet." Lan Yu shook his head, asked the two to step back, and stepped forward.
"Master Bai, please forgive me for my behavior just now. In order to show the sincerity of Jishang Sect, Jishang Sect is willing to exchange a corpse of a fusion stage demon beast, 30 million top-grade spirit stones, spirit medicines such as the Rebirth Flower, Lingzhi Ganoderma, Jade Head Multiflori, as well as 1,000-year-old cold iron, five-element spirit stones, stone eggs, etc."
"What a grand move from the Jishang Sect." Bai Runyue said with a smile.
Guo Shuhui snorted coldly, but said nothing.
If it was an ordinary disciple, he could still mock him as a guy who had never seen the world, but Bai Runyue was the daughter of the sect master. She had been going in and out of the treasure house of Zixiao Sect since she was a child, and she had seen all kinds of treasures.
If he really said that, he would be ridiculed in return. This time he learned his lesson and decided not to argue with Bai Runyue.
Sect Master Bai was not surprised that the Ji Shang Sect could come up with these things. If it was another set of martial arts, he might have persuaded Gao Han to agree, but who knows about the Eight Divine Swords.
It's not that they are worried that after Ji Shang Sect gets the eighth sword of the Eight Divine Swords, it will pose a threat to Zi Xiao Sect. Although the Eight Divine Swords are powerful, Zi Xiao Sect also has powerful skills that surpass the Eight Divine Swords. Besides, not everyone can practice the Eight Divine Swords.
Sect Leader Bai just remembered something he once asked his great-uncle master.
He still remembers the answer given by his great-grandmaster to Elder Yagami's Eight Divine Swords: What is the probability of successfully practicing the eighth sword?
"Although the Eight Divine Swords are powerful, they are not suitable for continuous practice." said Master Zixiao, who was standing on the top and integrated into the world of Haoxue.
"But the Eight Gods Elder of the Jishang Sect has been practicing the Eight Gods Sword for nearly ten thousand years, and nothing has ever happened to him."
"Think carefully, at what stage was Elder Yagami when he created the Eight God Swords?"
“I remember that it was during the Mahayana period that Elder Yashen devoted his entire life to practicing the Eight Divine Swords.” Sect Leader Bai answered respectfully.
"Yes, at that time, Elder Yashen was already in the Mahayana stage, with an almost endless life span. The damage to him caused by using the Yashen Sword was limited, but it was not zero, because the Yashen Sword requires the burning of spiritual energy to be used."
Sect Master Bai's face changed. "Spiritual power is the foundation of a cultivator. Once it explodes, if it burns, it is equivalent to consuming the cultivator's lifespan. So the Eight Divine Swords have such a big disadvantage, right? Then the disciples of the Supreme Sect who practice this swordsmanship, aren't they..."
"That's not the case. Elder Yashin later modified the Yashin Sword. The Yashin Sword passed down to the disciples of Jishang Sect is a modified version, at the cost of reducing the power of the Yashin Sword."
"I see." Sect Leader Bai nodded, but what his disciple wanted to ask was what the chances of successfully practicing the eighth sword were.
Whether he knew what he was thinking or it was just a coincidence, Master Zixiao said, "The modified Eight Divine Swords should actually be called the Seven Divine Swords."
Sect Leader Bai's heart moved.
"You mean, among the Eight Divine Swords that Jishang Sect is currently learning, there is actually no eighth sword, and the seventh sword is already the limit?"
Master Zixiao nodded, "Yes, as for the unmodified Eight God Swords, Elder Eight Gods cannot practice the eighth sword either. Or maybe he cannot practice it."
"Why is this?" Sect Leader Bai asked in confusion.
"I have deduced with Tian Dao that if the eighth sword is really deduced, its power will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the seventh sword."
Sect Leader Bai took a deep breath, thinking about how powerful the seventh sword of the Eight Divine Swords was. For example, even though it couldn't kill a cultivator of the same level, it could still seriously injure him by surprise.
If the power of the eighth sword could really be superimposed dozens or even hundreds of times, the explosive power would surely be able to easily kill a Mahayana cultivator in seconds.
This kind of swordsmanship is so incredible that the difficulty of practicing it is probably a hundred times more difficult.
"Did Elder Yashin finally practice the eighth sword?" Although he thought so, Sect Leader Bai was still very concerned about this issue.
Master Zixiao shook his head.
When Sect Master Bai was getting a little excited, he heard a sentence, "I don't know."
Sect Master Bai: "..."
Uncle-master, don’t you know everything and can do everything?
"If Yagami has mastered the Eighth Sword, his death may be related to the Eighth Sword, but during that period, we didn't hear of any powerful demon dying."
Sect Leader Bai's expression changed slightly. "You mean, if I use the eighth strike, I will die?"
"The Eight Divine Swords are mainly based on burning spiritual energy. If we can deduce how much spiritual energy is needed to burn the Eighth Sword, we may not die, but we will definitely exchange injuries for injuries."
At that moment, Sect Leader Bai understood.
Anyone would choose the latter option, at the cost of burning spiritual energy and vitality in exchange for invincible power. But whether Elder Yagami did so in the end, probably no one knows except himself.
Perhaps there is another one, and that is Gao Han who got the swordsmanship, but this is on the premise that he got the Eight Divine Swords, not the Seven Divine Swords.
…
"Master Bai, what do you think?" Seeing that Bai Dongtian didn't speak for a long time, Lan Yu couldn't help but urge him anxiously.
Sect Leader Bai came back to his senses, looked at Lan Yu seriously and said, "Elder Lan, have you ever thought that the Eight Divine Swords Gao Han got might be the Seven Divine Swords?"
Lan Yu's expression changed instantly.
"What Seven Divine Swords?" Guo Shuhui and Xu Mengwei were both stunned.
"How does Sect Master Bai know about this?" Lan Yu's face was gloomy. This matter was a secret in the Ji Shang Sect and not many disciples knew about it.
Facing Lan Yu's vigilant eyes, Sect Master Bai smiled slightly, "Elder Lan, have you forgotten that my great-grandmaster uncle knows everything and can do everything? Do you think it's possible to hide this from him?"
Lan Yu's face darkened. "These things can't make Zixiao Sect excited, right?"
Sect Leader Bai sighed, "I thought Elder Lan was a sensible person."
"This concerns the future of the sect." Lan Yu stated his position indifferently. How could they believe that Zixiao Sect did not lie.
This is a knot that cannot be untied.
The Zixiao Sect disdained to use their swordsmanship, let alone a flawed swordsmanship. However, the Jishang Sect did not believe that they were not tempted. They had already determined in their hearts that no matter what they said, they were all lies.
"It seems like this negotiation is destined to end unpleasantly." Lan Yu's smile disappeared, "Shuhui, Meng Wei, let's go."
Without further ado, he hurriedly left Zixiao Sect with Guo Shuhui and the other two, as if he was afraid that Sect Master Bai would change his mind and detain them.
"Dad, are we going to let them go like this? They will definitely not give up. They might be secretly plotting something against our great-grandmaster and the Zixiao Sect." Bai Runyue said unhappily.
"Junior sister, everyone in Ji Shang Sect knows that Lan Yu and two disciples came to Zi Xiao Sect. If we detain them, Ji Shang Sect will have even more reason to come and cause trouble, which will be exactly what they want." Yuan Ran explained.
"You are not as smart as your second senior brother." Sect Master Bai shook his head in disappointment.
"Hate it, I'm going to find my senior brother. I don't want to play with you anymore." Bai Runyue stomped his feet, turned around and ran out of the hall.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly sounded outside.
Sect Leader Bai mistakenly thought that Lan Yu had done something, so he rushed out of the hall and came to the square of the main peak. He immediately saw Lan Yu who was about to leave but was standing there in a daze, not looking like he was going to take any action.
Sect Leader Bai turned around immediately and finally saw what was happening.
A large black cloud suddenly gathered in the sky above several peaks, covering an area of nearly ten miles. It was so dark that the loud noise before came from the cloud, and the sound was very loud.
The area between the peaks became extremely hazy because of the huge dark cloud. Disciples continued to gather there. No one knew what was happening, and there was a commotion in the square.
"Master, what happened? Did any elder make a breakthrough?" Yuan Ran came out right after him and also saw the thundercloud. The scene was so spectacular that he thought one of the elders had made a breakthrough.
"I'm afraid not. A breakthrough can't possibly cause such a big reaction." Sect Leader Bai said.
"What's going on?" Bai Runyue, who said he was going to find his senior brother, also ran over.
The disciples near the square couldn't help but prick up their ears. They also wanted to know what was going on.
"It's an immortal weapon that has come into the world. It's actually an immortal weapon!" Someone helped Sect Master Bai answer this question.
Everyone looked over and found that it was someone from the Ji Shang Sect. Without even having time to be surprised, they were all shocked by the words "an immortal weapon has been born."
"How is it possible? How could an immortal weapon come into the world from Zixiao Sect? Could it be that some senior is refining an immortal weapon?" Lan Yu was extremely shocked. As an opponent of Zixiao Sect, he found a reason for himself.
"The elder is right. Someone must have been refining a magical weapon, which just happened to upgrade its level." Guo Shuhui is the sect master's disciple and knows what a magical weapon represents.
The last immortal weapon came out of the world in Qixing Valley. Qixing Valley has a profound heritage. Eighty percent of the immortal weapons in Lingtian Continent come from Qixing Valley. That’s why they dare to be so arrogant because they are very confident. But what does Zixiao Sect rely on?
Although the Zixiao Sect is the largest sect in the Lingtian Continent, most of its cultivators are sword practitioners. Because Master Zixiao is a sword practitioner, the sect has attracted countless cultivators who admire Master Zixiao and those who choose to practice sword techniques to join it.
Just like the Jishang Sect, which focuses on sword cultivation, most of the disciples who join the Jishang Sect are also cultivators who follow the path of sword cultivation.
As for refining weapons, the Zixiao Sect only has one Divine Artifact Peak, and the number of weapon refiners is directly at the bottom among the nine peaks. The truly talented weapon refiners all choose to join the Weapon Star Valley, and most of those left for the Zixiao Sect are misfits. When others ask around, they wonder which weapon refiner is willing to go to the Zixiao Sect.
"Have you ever seen that the refining of immortal weapons can cause such a huge thunder tribulation?" Who is Sect Leader Bai? He is a powerful man in the Spirit Transformation Stage after all. How could he not hear what they said? These words were meant for them to hear.
Lan Yu was silent. He knew in his heart that his guess was not very reliable and was just deceiving himself.
A closer look at such a huge thunderstorm will reveal that it was not caused by the sacrifice of a magic weapon.
"Aren't the three of you going to leave? Please do as you please." Sect Leader Bai smiled and drove them away.
Lan Yu still wanted to see which weapon refiner caused the thunder tribulation, but his master started to chase him away, so he decided to stay any longer.
"See Elder Lan and the others off." Without giving them any chance to dawdle, Sect Leader Bai said to Yuan Ran.
"Yes, Master." Yuan Ran walked up to them, "Elder Lan, please."
Knowing what Bai Dongtian meant, Lan Yu turned around and left without deliberately slowing down his pace. He needed to go back and report the matter to the sect. The sudden appearance of a refiner who could refine immortal weapons in the Zixiao Sect had an enormous impact.
"Who wants to watch?" Guo Shuhui and Xu Mengwei said with a grim face before following.
As soon as they left, the masters of the eight peaks arrived one after another.
"Who is it, who is it, who is the person who is refining the weapon?" When the master of the Divine Artifact Peak arrived, a loud voice came first, and as soon as he appeared, he rushed to the front of Sect Master Bai as if his butt was on fire.
Sect Leader Bai was almost sprayed by his saliva and took two steps back in disgust. "Peak Leader Yao, look carefully at the point where the lightning strikes from the center. It can't be someone from your Divine Artifact Peak."
"You are talking nonsense. If you were from Divine Artifact Peak, I wouldn't have to ask you." Peak Master Yao glared at him.
Sect Master Bai glanced at the disciples around him and coughed lightly, "Master Yao Feng, please be aware of your identity. Also, I am the Sect Master."
Master Yao Feng ignored him and stared at the spot where the thunderbolt landed. There was actually an empty forest there. "This is not right."
"Of course not. As I recall, that place was Wuming Peak, but it was hidden by a barrier." said the master of Qinglan Peak.
When it comes to Nameless Peak, all the peak masters fell silent.
"No way." Hou Wanshan, the master of Luojian Peak, broke the silence.
Wuming Peak is the residence of Senior Tiandao, but Senior Tiandao is obviously not a weapon refiner. For so many years, he has been living alone in Wuming Peak until a few months ago when another person joined the scene, his new disciple Gao Han.
From being a man with good talent, he suddenly became a top genius who killed demons and monsters. At such a young age, he is a legend.
Now, just a few days after returning to the sect, this little legend gave them another huge surprise.
In Wuming Peak, since it was not Senior Tiandao, then it is self-evident who was the person who caused these thunder tribulations.
"Master, didn't you say that he didn't have any guidance from a master and that he had only been involved in refining equipment for a short time?" The master of Qinglan Peak asked speechlessly.
When they learned that Gao Han had chosen Senior Tiandao as his master and they needed to give him a gift, everyone asked him about it. I still remember that the sect leader said that they could just give some medium-quality refining materials.
Sect Leader Bai was also helpless. "He has never shown his weapon refining skills to anyone else. How can I know what level he has reached?"
"Master, you are too irresponsible." Master Yao Feng accused him.
"You are talking nonsense. Don't I take responsibility? Just ask anyone to find out whether I am responsible or not!" said Sect Master Bai calmly.
Master Yao Feng turned to Qing Lan and asked, "Is the Sect Master responsible?"
Qing Lan: "Very irresponsible to the extreme."
Sect Leader Bai: “…”
I specifically asked you to find a disciple to ask.
Master Yao Feng sneered. The disciple would not dare to tell the truth due to the authority of the sect master. He is a weapon refiner, not a fool.
"Stop making trouble. This thunder tribulation is so powerful that Uncle Gao may not be able to withstand it with his level of cultivation. Why don't we go and help him?" Hou Wanshan suggested.
Qi Yu also wanted to go and take a look. "When the thunder calamity comes, it will strike the weapon refiner as well. He will definitely not be able to withstand it. If the magic weapon is destroyed, it will be a big trouble."
"The problem is that we can't even enter Nameless Peak." Peak Master Qian stroked his beard and asked curiously, "But the barrier of Nameless Peak was set up by Senior Tiandao himself. Will these thunder tribulations prevent us from entering?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.
